《Bob the mighty or fred the awesome》 Nombre wun It stood there watching, it was not aware of how it got here or where "here" is. It currently had three pieces of information, it was on a beach? The floor was grainy and before it stretched an infinite ocean of possibly liquid though the liquid seemed to move in waves it was almost like it was an illusion of movement. There was a being possibly female the hair was long but the body was covered in what might be armour. She? Was sitting in a fetal position. It moved, it does not how there was no feeling of movement it just wanted to get a better view of the female. It was a she and she was crying sadly. Third piece of info it had was it was sober so it is probably dead. "Huh sober while i kind of understand what dead is i dont know what sober is it seems not all my _______________ are available". ''What the hell did i just do and what was that blank was i talking?''. It notices The woman isnt sitting anymore she standing looking seemingly everywhere at once with an expression that brings the word hope to mind but she still hasnt noticed me. "Hey what is this crap im dead right and your god or satan wich ever deity is actually in charge". She then stops and looks in my direction with a confused look. She reaches out her hand probing towards my area. She touches me and everything stops, i dont what was moving to stop in the first place but thats the feeling it gets. She stand there unmoving with her hand upon me for what seems to be an eternity but its kinda hard to get a grasp of time in this place. She falls to her knees looking up at my face ''is that what you call where i see from'' she smiles deeply and joyful tears stream down her face. She opens her mouth "You are One that can touch this _____ thankyou now the one i ________ might return". Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original. I woke up and it was loud there were voices jeering yelling screaming non of them very coherent they were coming from all around. "GOD FUCKING DAMMIT SHUT THE HELL UP I AM TRYING TO SLEEP!". I open my eyes look around and quickly notice that this isnt my bed or my room or even my own god dammed planet atleast im pretty sure its not i can see two moons when i look up and what seems to be a dark purpley black sun but theres no Light or heat coming off it. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (insert illiterate unidentifiable australian jargon/slang insulting/complimenting the reader and/or author here) Nomore too ''Okay time to assess the cuurent situation'' ''Im in a round arena? It seems to be, theres what look like stands with blurred beings some moving some possiblly sitting this is where all the noise is coming from'' ''Other than me there is four others in the arena in front of me there is a large earth colored man, hes huge easily eight feet tall and his entire body looks like it has been crafted by a god into being of perfect muscle and strength, his hair is the same color as his skin it flows down to his back and moves as he''s raising his fists to the crowds doing what looks like he is showing off'' ''Behind me lying on the ground possibly unconcious are two humanoid creatures, one in a deep blue robe with skin a lighter shade of blue than the robe and small angel like wings sprouting from the lower back, with short black hair and beautifully delicate features someone would would mistake it for a girl if the robe wasnt rolled up halfway displaying a bulg in the front of its underwear'' ''The one next to it is obviously female with moderately sized breasts and long red with two large horns protruding from her head and deep red skin she looks like a beautiful demon'' ''Both look young and malnourished with cuts and bruises sporadically covering there bodies'' I look down at the thing grabing my pants and and trying to hide itself behind my legs ''The last one is the most human looking, a small child with shoulder lenght shiny semi-transperant hair, she is completly naked'' I pull her off my legs lift her up and place here next to me, i take off my jacket and put it around her then zip it up considering the size difference it looks like shes wearin a large dress. Since i pulled her off me she only been staring at the purple sun with an expression of pure fear and loss. The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. I look up at the sun then back down at her "do have any idea of whats going on or where this is and why are you so afraid of the sun". She looks at me and point at the sun say something that doesnt seem to go into my brain right it feels like it may take a bit of time to process what was said. I look back over at the two lying on the ground there moving a bit like they may wake up any second so i place the child on my shoulder and walk over to them. As i get close and lean down next to them they both open there eyes simultaneously, as soon as they lay eyes upon me an expression of true joy. "Hey do you guys know whats with all this and why is she afraid of the purple sun" as i point to the child clinging to my head for dear life. They both look up at the sun and then they are overcome with the same expression as the girl i sigh and turn around. As i walk towards the large man what she said before translates "devourer" i speek it without thinking but the way it came was much deeper than my normal voice and seemed to resonate everywhere. Then all the noise stops. Everything in stands stops moving and the large man lowers his arms and get a familiar expression then looks at the sun. I look up at sun like everyone else, its moving. The sun is unfurling itbself from a ball. As it moves a head comes into shape with two deep pits for eyes seeming to stare directly at me. Then the child screams. As soon as the sound hits my ears everything goes black. I open my eyes im in a white void theres a person? In front of me unmoving staring a black cube? Of indiscernible size. Nimbrerie fhree ''Ok time to assess the situation for a second no wait why does it feel like the third time im doing this'' ''Im in an endless white void there an old guy, he kinda seems familiar'' ''He staring intensely at a black cube or is it a sphere its kinda hard to get the two mixed but this thing is wierd'' "Hey" He turns around quickly and doesnt seem to see me at first while looking directly at mee then his eyes seem to focus and then with an expression of shock yells "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU AND HOW DID YOU GET HERE" thats the last thing i see or hear as then everything goes grey ''this is whole transitiong thing is getting anoyying'' Im back in the arena its still silent, i look around the first thing i see is the large man is siting in the classic thinking pose. ''If i didnt see him moving before I''d think he was a statue'' I feel something grabing me then climbing up my back i turn my head there is the girl climbing onto my shoulder where i put her before only this time she''s smiling at me. As i turn my head to look at her i catch a glimpse of two blue and red things . I turn around and there are the malnourished and injured angel? And demon? They are prostrating themselves infront of me unmoving. The small child on my shoulder looks at my expression of pity frowns looking as if there is some form of conflict she sighs and then leans over and grabs my hand placing two green beans in it. ''Hey hey hey these look like a certain green bean from a certain cartoon'' I look at the beans then the two on the ground and then at the girl. "Are these what i think they are" She stare at me for a second and then nods. I smile and get down on my knees infront of them, they dont move in the slightest and the light in there eyes is distant. I put one bean in each hand and slowly offer it to them. They look at the beans then me with an expression of hope and confusion. I nod and move the the beans closer, the red one grabs it quickly with what feels like the last of her energy and devours it immediately. The blue on timidly takes the bean and slowly puts it in his mouth and swallows. This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. They both look at as if almost saying more. Then all the life that was in there bodys suddenly comes roaring back in immediately all the bruises and cuts are gone and there figures ill back in to what seems appropriate. They both stand up suddenly full of vigour and then fall to there knees prostrating themselves speaking an unintelligible language. ''Looks like im not going to get much out of them'' I look back over at im gonna with mr.perfect, he''s walking toward a large open gate that wasn''t there before that seems to lead into a long hallway. i look at the child on my shoulder she''s playing with my hair look at every single strand indvidually. "Excuse me thanks for the beans but do you have any idea of whats going on" "Non dixi quia destruxit partem devorantem" "What was that it sounded like latin, that first word non i know that means no or something" I look at mr.perfect walking to the 50 foot tall open gate and yell "hey do you speak english i so then whats going on" He turns back at the precipice and looks back at me and yells back "little follow teacher explain" He then turns back and walks through the gate then dissapears. I look back at the two on the ground, they are looking up at me with an expression of hope ''ive got no idea what they were saying so ill just nod and hope it not bad'' I nod and they seem to take it as confirmation for something, they jump up and run over to me and they eavh stop directly infront of me with hesitation. I shrug then turn around andstart walking towards the open gate while gesturing the two to follow me. I look back and they are ''good if i cant understand the language atleast they seem to use similar body language to me'' I step through the gate and everything goes grey for a fraction of a second and im walking into a massive hall and infront of me is mr.perfect talking to what actually looks like a normal human. ------------------------------------ The meaning of life is to exist if we didnt exist then would be no meaning to life Nifner fure Im back and you know what time it is ''yes its time to assess the situation'' '' Little girl... wait i should call her something else how about little miss god damn shiney, i mean i should have noticed it before but her entire existence is somehow shiny its kind of hurting my eyes but it feels like the shinines (is that a word...) is filling something above my head i know theres nothing there i can just feel it, its really creepy but i cant see it or touch it'' Lmgds is still on my shoulder going through my hairs one by one. ''Possibly creepier than the growing mass of invisible untouchable something floating above my head... no it''s not'' Red and blue are walking in behind me as i look back. ''I''ll stick with red and blue for now or maybe blue trap i will think of better ones later'' I look back at the human and mr.perfect they''ve just finished there conversation and the human is walking towards me angrily. ''This guy''s not that short still smaller than me, hes wearing some sort of futurisctic plait mail, might be usefull'' As he walk he walks towards me he start yelling at me in multiple different languages one after the other. I yell back "english" He stops stunned, after a second he comes running up a smile on his face. He stands really close taking a good look at me and says "english ENGLISH then are you from the glorious nation of america" "No but i know of ameri- He cut in "no you mean the glorious nation of america right" "The planet i come from its just called america or the United States of America" He''s confused "the united states of America? Hmm... so you must be from before the cataclysm" "Cataclysm so it wasnt just spacial tranfer but also through time... shit" "Well if your from the past i can tell you what happened to you country during the cataclysm but first" he becomes angry again "what did you do in there everyones been pulled back and no one can enter anythin apart from rooms and training grounds" I look down at him lmgds on my shoulder is trying make an angry face at him its fucking adorable. "I have questions too i have no idea what happened in there i woke up she screamed i blacked out i woke up again in an even weirder place the im back agian theres a gate i go through it now im here and im from-" I stop as i notice someone familiar walking up behind him being tailed by mr.perfect. As our eyes meet i shove the guy in front of me to the side and simultaneously we point at at other and yell "YOU!!!" ''Its the old guy from the white void and now i know why he was familiar, its the crazy old dude from down the street his dog wolf pet thing liked me so i walked it and looked after his crops in exchange he told me wierd stories and said he was teaching me magic but for some reason i had no mana but i should be able to hold in his word an imperial fucktonne, may seem like a wierd relationship that the police should be involved in but i met him at eighteen so all good'' I never knew what the hell his crops were but they were bright red and tasted like marshmallows and whenever we were talking and eating them time felt like it was proceding differently. ''He always said that said he was an infinitely reincarnating wizard now all the stories were ridiculous but i am actually starting to believe everything he told me even the one thing he maged to teach me i mean it was it usefull in it on way but it didn''t seem to have any aditional benefits'' "Didnt you and your dog dissapear a year ago you never taught me stage two" "What what what stage two you learn it yourself when yah git da manas" "You said i couldnt git da manas until i could find something that can fill in your words thit guddam rudiculus manas hulder" "Will whut da hells dus yah thunk dat guddam shiney ting on yah shuldur is tyrna du" "So is the manas the invisible thing above my head" "Yus bat dat dun matter right nows yuos is cumon wid us an tell me wut happund and i tells you sum" I follow him back to his room? So i take a good look atound as we walk and talk. ''We are in a large hall there people and beings and things im not even sure could even be called beings, gnof guy is sitting on the ground with an look of confusion as to what we were talking about, now there are girls surrounding him he stands up hugging them rubbing there breast they all giggle as he does that, a harem seriously'' ''There are people staring at our group but none will go anywhere near jeff, oh yeah old guy name is jeff pretty simple for an infinitely reincarnating wizard'' The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. (I dont know why i decided to make his voice like this but now im gonna cheat so yeah... ) You know what happened to me so this is what he tells and im qouting him here from as much as i understood We are in "u guddam blods spurts wurld arenus" The creatures here all fight for "dah munnniiissseee unnd dah phat luutteess su dey cun git mor munnniiissseee unnd git freez There are "u metric fucktonne oh gams unnd chulungus'' We leave the massive hall into a large corrider with doors every five feet, each door has different symbols or things like words some similar but none the same. After about a minute of walking down the corridor he stops and walks to a room with the name jeff on it, he opens the door and beckons me to come inside. I turn around and red and blue are following me closely looking around with a sense of wonder. I turn back to jeff ask gesture to the two behind me he nods so i clap my hands to get there attention and beckon them to follow me. We all walk into the room while mr.perfect wanders off somewhere else. ''Plain almost empty stone room about 25by25 feet with a plain wooden table and four chairs and a old wood d on the other side of the room... jeff is normaly way fancier'' i sigh and gesture for the two to sit down and take a seat when they do i then take one between them. I look at the old man across from me "so i some what get what is going on here... but whats with the girl she seems to understand me but can only speak what sounds like latin" "Latun latun didn i teuch yah guddam latun" "No you only taught me the first step witch you called "thunkun dah tru wuds" it made me think in a different language that no one''s heard befor it makes me think about strange things differently but thats not the point whats with the kid" "Hur ude dis pit ut un dah ech ers" He pulls out two small white spheres tosses them i catch one and she catches the other. I put it against my ear and it just sunk into the skin and disappeared i look over and she does the same thing and the same thing happens. I look at her she looks at me I look at her she looks at me I look at her she looks at me I look at her she looks at me I look at her she looks at me. ''Hi'' I hear it in my head but she makes no noise. I think back ''hi'' ''Oh you can understand me finally do have any idea whats going here i was flying then i was falling then i was in there and then i saw you and then- The transmission is cut of as the door bangs open and there is mr.perfect "teacher challenges back open" ''Ok now harem guy shouldnt be mad most of them looked normal but I''m pretty sure i couldnt fight them off if they swarmed me, wait something feels off'' I look around and quickly notice that the two are are gone and so is lmgds. And there in front of me is a floating semi transperant screen. ____________________________________________________________ Congrangulations on your defeat of The Devourer You have been selected for a bonus game Those things precious to you in a way You do not understand have been taken Upon completion of each stage you may Be Able to find a part of what was taken Upon total completion of the bonust game You will be elligable for one sixth tier item You will be transported to the bonus game 20 seconds after reading this message ___________________________________________________________ "Oh shit old man i got dah manas what stage two and three" "Dats esy stag too is usin littl of yah manas tah taks mans frum all dah tings" "Stag tres iz tah mak dere magiks yur magiks" "Stag fur izs tah- Timer reached zero everything goes grey.

Check it out there for the real experience. I try to reach out towards dah manas above my head. After a few seconds of fishing around trying to grab dah manas i look up and for a brief moments i see something but its gone. Remembering the feeling i try once more and then i grab something. i pull the smallest possible amount down towards me. ''I can feel something in my hand but i dont see it, time for the second step taking manas from all the things'' I take the manas in my hand and use to concentrate on everything and pull it in. Connecting to everything makes me a bit dizzy but it was successful i immediately try to pull everything in. I''m overwhelmed with the amount of energy flowing into me i try to push it back out. Then everything goes black then white then grey then there''s nothing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This one''s short like your **** the previous one''s long like my ******* Numberr sexy -----the immortal infinitely reincarnating time looping wizard known as jeff''s point of view----- ''I send him off to the companion game and who does he come back with THAT FUCKING KID'' ''That kid was ridiculous in all my times i have never met someone with no ________ he didn''t even generate it naturally like everyone else in all the multiverses, how did he even exist let alone live my guddam dog couldnt even see him until he said something'' ''Then he comes in and eats the seeds of power like it''s nothing those red things should have kill him upon him touching him'' ''I couldnt let this let this kid go so i offered to teach this kid about the worlds and real magiks not the shitty magic you nowadays'' ''He just laughs and says sure you can tell me stories but in exchange i get to walk your dog and help with the red marshallow plants outside they look like they need care and she needs a walk everyday i never see you doing it so I''d thought I''d offer'' ''THIS FUCKING KID first my dog cant see him then he sees through the fifth tier hide spell i put on the plants then he eats the plant like it was nothing'' ''I got curious i had to inspect closely, i look deep into his existance at there was nothing witch was certainly not normal, then there was his ________, energy, manas and mana capacity'' ''It was huge at first i thought it was godlike then i realized it was much greater than that i kept going through trying to find his limit but there was none, all of a sudden i saw something but it wasn''t the end it was something else, it was something I''d never seen before I''ve seen everything i have gone through all existances an infinite number of times, and not nowing what that something was scared it was the first i have felt i have felt fear this deep not even the devourer is this terrifying, i pity whatever being were to awaken that thing'' The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. ''Then in three weeks he learns the first stage of the true path... that took me four billion years and thats the multiverse record, and he doesn''t see any benefits to it other than thinking a little bit quicker... thats cause he had no _________ he shouldn''t have even been able do what he did in the first place'' ''Student comes wandering up after talking to the harem kid and tells me that the devourer woke up then one of the people threw a ridiculous amount of mana into another and the one hit by the mana dissapeared then there was a flash the devourer was gone and the on that dissapeared was back then he starts looking around and the gate appears so he came to report to me'' ''So i walk up to see who could even touch the devourer, and it''s THAT FUCKING KID and hes got a dragon on his shoulder eho im pretty sure is an ampliphae, then theres the two behind, a friggin agelos and an god dammed dermun'' ''I take them back to my room and find out the dragon on his shoulder only speaks latin so i give him an true empathy ball after puting it in and staring at each other for a minute student barges in and says all the challenges are working again, good... wait something off'' ''The dragon and red/blue are gone and kids staring at a screen he then asks for second and third stage guides quickly so sum it up quickly but he dissapears as i start to tell him the fourth stage where you take all the energy and change it to whatever you need... meh he can figure it out it only took me six reruns of the entire multiverse '' ---------------------------------------------------------- You know i should really start spell checking but that would probably halve the release rate... there is only one solution More characters with strange speech impediments and lots of new words 7 Laying on the top of a large of a large hill i awaken. "Argh my head, whats with the ringing it hurts it hurts" i say while sitting up and grabing my head. Then the noise subsides and my head starts to slowly stop hurting. ''Okay that was a new one im still in the same place but... everything near me looks dead'' I look around and and see that everything within roughly 100 meters of me is definitely dead. ''Even the small group of rabbits grazing on the side of the hill, they look withered and are unmoving'' ''Hmm... that really hurt and i blacked out again, next time I''ll try taking manas from one thing, well atleast whatever i did filled up the thing above my head quite a bit'' ''Now i will try stage 3 those rabbits might work i just hope they don''t have to be alive for this'' I stand up and walk towards the group of rabbits theres ten and the biggest one is wearing "aviator shades seriously" I lean down next to the rabbit while grabing a bit of manas. ''So how do i do this'' i try to stretch the mana towards the rabbit while not letting go. ''Huh it worked, first go... awesome, but now I''ve got take the magiks'' I proceed to use the strecthed manas to grab the rabbit. ''I''ve got something but it feels loose so I''ll pull it in quck'' I yank back whatever i grabbed possibly the rabbits magiks. This time it''s different it doesn''t stay in my hand or go above my head it goes straight into my body. ''Oooooh that tingles and now theres words in my brain- You have slain teir one creature boss bunny All physical stat modifiers are increased by 14% All mental stat modifiers are increased by 9% You have obtained item good rabbit meat You have obtained item shades of identification You have obtained 3 units/credits/gold You have gained 45 xp ''Whats this i get stuff awesome, and what about these modifiers 9 percent isnt much but added up this could be good'' ''Now where are these items... and why do my legs feel wet'' Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. I look down at my pants and notice theres blood dripping from my pockets. I quickly pull everything out theres nothing in the top ones but the lower ones are full of meat and a pair of shades ''While the rabbit meat meat is annoying these shades might be usefull'' I put the shades on after cleaning them. ''Aaaand nothing... maybe they needs manas'' I slowly pull a little manas down and trickle it into the shades, as soon as the manas touch the shades i start seeing small boxes of information about whatever I''m looking at, then as more manas flow into the shades i start seeing even larger more detailed boxes of information. ''Good good good more manas means more info very useful, but i could do without them looking like this'' All of a sudden there gone i am still seeing boxes of information and theres still manas flowing but it its going into my eyes and theres no shades on my face. I stop pumping manas and the information boxes dissapear, i try the same thing i did with the shades in the first place but with my eyes. The info boxes start appearing again and gradually get more detailed as i put more manas into my eyes. ''Well this is even more useful than the shades ill turn it off for now constantly read about everything is going to give me a headache'' ''Well might aswell do the same thing to the other rabbits, this time I''ll try to do it on more than one at once'' I once again stretch out the manas only this time i try i try to split it to grab all of them. ''Huh it worked this convenience is getting suspicious'' I grab all the rabitts at once and pull. ''Ooooooooooh that tingled more than the big one, but there were to many words to quickly oh wait there coming back slowly'' ''Lots of rabbit meat'' i look down my pockets are overflowing with meat "sigh" '' a combined stat mod of 34% physical and 21% mental, i actually feel smarter and a bit lighter'' ''A book thats soaked in rabbit blood... where does a rabbit even keep a book'' ''9 gold 145 xp, and now it says I''ve leveled up... twice'' You have leveled you are now level 2 all stats increased by 2 You have leveled you are now level 3 all stats increased by 3 --------------------------------------------------------- Sorry about the black no matter what i did or what color i changed the text to it just stayed black Nikbur ate a waffle ''It would be nice if i could view my stats... well i guess I''ll check ot this book'' I pick up the book that is now laying on the ground covered in rabbit meat dripping with blood. ''It''s soaked and and the title is unreadable... let''s see if the insides are any better'' As soon as i open the book to look for anything usefull another message pops up in my head. -would like to learn the skill internal¡·external mana condensation and movement- ''This time i get a choice... maybe i will go with yes- As soon as i think yes knowledge of the skill flows into my head while simultaneously the book dissapears. ''I didn''t feel anything that time, but the i know how to do it now'' ''Basically i just push the mana or is it manas... he always said they were different, anyways i push it out anywhere and condense into a bal it while puting more in then keep condensing until it reaches a suitable weight then move it with my thoughts'' ''There are additional notes after this, maximum movement speed is set by total mana capacity... so the more mana i think with the faster it goes, weight of ball affects speed... the more it weighs than i can lift physicaly the slower the speed, amount of ball''s and balls range depends on skill level... again it would be nice to see my stats'' I sigh and start to attempt the skill, i pull some mana/manas down from above, i push it into the palm of my hand and start condensing. I keep at this until it heavy enough that i can barely keep my arm up and all this time it hasn''t gotten bigger than a ball bearing. I let go and think for it to stay there, it does it is floating at eye level infront of me, it doesn''t seem to have a definitive color and niether gives of light nor sucks it in. ''Rather than the manas where it feels like a seperate thing, this ball feels like an extra limb, it requires no more thought to move than my arms or legs'' I start to move the ball at different speeds it goes slower than my walking pace when i put in the minimum amount of mana to move it. As i put in more mana very slowly to move it, it picks up speed tremendously fast to the point where it''s moving so fast that i couldn''t see it. ''If i couldn''t feel where the ball is like it''s a piece of me i wouldn''t be able to keep track of it, but at this speed and with this weight and density and the seemingly negligible amount of mana used... this things pretty op, and i can get more of them, i wonder if i can combine it with stage three, huh the mental stat boost are already working for me i would have never thought of doing that before'' I turn around looking for a test subject '' single pig spotted commencing test one'' I send the ball fly faster than a bullet towards the pig, it goes straight through the pig make a perfect hole all the way through, while the ball still keeps its shape but feels just a tiny bit lighter. As soon as the pig dies something rushes from the pig into the ball then into me. ''So it worked and it was automatic i didn''t even try to pull the magiks... awesome but the convenience is still suspicious its like the first thing i do just happens to be right every time... if i didnt wake up in pain i would think I''m dreaming'' ''So what did i get 30 xp some more percents but this time only vitality strength and fortitude... is that a stat, 5 money''s, some pig meat and and a bag of storage 100kg'' I look down to the familiar sound of slopping meats and this time theres no meat falling out of my pockets instead its coming out of a small leather bag tied to my belt I smile as i untie the bag from my belt and start pouring the meat out ''good atleast my pockets won''t be filling with meats any time soon'' After a few seconds of pouring the bag seems to dissapear as it flows into my hand and then its gone and now theres a kind of new half filled spot inside my head. ''Did i just absorb the bag... i can absorb magic stuff and make there powers my own i just got more op this is like some weird summoned hero fiction from japan or something, well that explains the shades'' I try to think about taking out all the meat from the storage ''ill stick with that name for now'' and it just starts flowing out of my hands. ''This would be gross if i wasn''t already half soaked in blood, i guess I''ll just start killing shit with the ball while walk to a water source'' As i start walking i set the ball the start moving through every living creature within 50 meteres of me '' ambiguous automatic instructions like this work i hope i can add specifics'' I set the ball to not go through anything smaller than me and it follows the command, i then set it to go through only white creatures bigger than me and it does. ''Great just got rid off freindly fire'' i set it back to go through every living creature within 50 meters. After about a minute of walking absorbing bags of storage and puting usefull stuff in them for later while dumping out a different message from the xp loot money level and stat mod messages pops up, by the way it seems that i get 1 more stat point added on to gained with each successive level (level 1- 1 stat for all level 2- 2 stats for all level 3- 3 stats for all and so on) Skill level increased - internal¡·external mana condensation and movement- is now level two Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation. I stop and start to make a new ball i also pull in the other one the put more mana into it. The result is two which according to my magic shades eyes are 500kg balls of mana still the size of ball bearing. ''500 kg i could never lift that normaly these stat boosts from levels and these mods are ridiculous'' I nod to myself setting the ball''s to the same procedure but this time within 100 meteres which seems to be my new range. I start walking again continuing on with absorbing bags dumping junk and storing stuff that looks usefull, ignoring the messages but counting the level and skill level notices By the time i reach the closest water source , a small river an hours walk away, a small screen appears in the corner of my vision counting down from 1000 for everthing i kill. When the counter gets to 1 i stop the balls and bring back to me. It sit down at the river and jump in and start rinsing the blood out of my clothes. ''so if i have been counting correctly i should be atleast level 40 by now and skill level should be five'' ''And with all these stat boosts from leveling and all the percentage modifires i have my physical stats be atleast ten thousand, but for the mental stats it feel like after a certain point i was getting smarter slower and slower with each level and kill but the stats were still rising at the same rate'' I start to make more balls infont of me , i get to five balls before i can''t make anymore so pile in the mana and keep condensing it, at the point where i can just support them i stop so they don''t lose speed. According to my magic id eyes they weigh 24.5 tonnes each '' i can lift almost 25 tonnes thats just stupid, i better check how fast i can move and what the range on these are now'' I push one of the balls out as far as it can, it reaches about 800 meters before it stops '' so it doubles in range withe each succesive skill level... i wonder what the level limit is, ok i should find somthing to test my speed on that hill is about an hours normal walk away so it should be about 5km away'' I set my eyes on the hill and start running, less than thirty seconds later I''m standind on top of the hill where i satrted. ''30 seconds to do 5km... thats atleast 360km an hour that''s deffinitly not normal, and I''m not even puffed so vitality and fortitude are looking pretty good aswell, i wish there was something to test my new mental skills on other than math I''m already good at that its just gotten a lot faster... now that i notice it everything seems a lot slower than before ahh wait there it goes it back to normal again, hmmm maybe if i... hah it worked i can slow down my perception time to move and think faster i just keep getting more and more op, theres got to be a catch... thats right I''m in a blood sports arena type thing in the middle of a game to probaly find lmgds, blue trap and red, i don''t see how they might be precious, it could be some so of time looping thing like they know me in the future maybe thats why those two were bowing to me'' '' I''ll figure that out later first I''ve got to find them, now how much storage do i have, ok i see ahhuh about 240 tonnes of space'' ''Why the hell does it even go by weight shouldnt it be volume that makes no sense'' "sigh" ''Well theres not really much to do here im clean and dry theres no skill books to read and none of the items I''ve other than the bags are magic, its just random shit from tools to weapons to consumables to random crap some I''ve never seen before or couldn''t even imagine a use for but i kept everything that wasn''t shit and i kept a bit of the meat to test if it would stay warm in my storage and when i took it out later it still was i dont think it stops time that would be to convenient, so I''ve kept a bit of meat from each different creature just incase'' I look for something to kill and spot a cow grazing nearby so i send a ball towards it as fast as i can as one final test. A meter away from me it breaks the sound barrier '' if it weren''t my ridiculous fortitude i think i would''ve be blown back or atleast deafend'' Then there is a tearing sound and for a brief grey streak appears along the path of the ball through the cow ending at the the ball on the other side of the cow ''if my perception of time weren''t slowed i would have seen nothing'' there is a cauterized hole through the the cow in a perfect shape of the ball. Then a message pops up infront of me as the counter in the corner of my vison drops to zero ____________________________________________________ Congrangulations on completing Stage one you will now be transported To area two for stage two good luck Explanations for stage two will be Given by king roldayos ____________________________________________________ I immediately pull the balls towards my hand so i wouldn''t leave them behind and the evrythig goes grey. ''Stabing might not be enough I''ll need to think of something extra'' ----------------------------------------------------------- Thats right rage over the missplelings rage it only guves me more powas Niner nines This time i dont wake up it would seem that i just come into existance where i am. I look up and around from my position of kneeling. ''Im in the a large throne room on a lush long wide red gilded carpet, there are guards in cermonial armour and fancy ass spears flanking the carpet and between large support pillars all the way up to the stairs leading up to the throne, there are 3 thrones an older male with a deep expression of thought as he assess my group sits in the middle on the fanciest throne in regal robes with an ornate crown on his brow, im assuming he''s king roldayos'' On his left is a ravishing woman matching his age looking neutral gazing into the distance, in a luscious gown with a beautiful staff resting across her lap up to her shoulder with a large crystal floating on top, on his right is a smiling young man with no helmet in much nicer armour than the soldiers guarding the hall'' ''Next to me to me are five other people kneeling, the one right next to me is a middle aged man in plain medieval traveling robes, with short hair and a short beard, not as long as my own hair and beard but... this guy looks like all the artists impressions of Jesus... but he''s mexican... i don''t even want to say the name it makes me feel really racist'' I try to lean over further to get a better look at the others but stop as i notice out of the corner of my eye i notice that the king has stopped assessing us and is standing up, so i quickly focus my attention on him as he begins to speak. "ADVENTURERS... you have been chosen by the kingdom to go on a quest to rescue the princess from the clutches of the evel demon king lord sadgy in in fortress of everrain" "Now follow me to the teleporter that will take you near the fortress come" He strats walking down the stairs past us with the ''I''d say that there the queen and prince but I''m wondering why there was no empty throne for the princess'' in tow , the four past mexican jesus stand up and start following the king in rows of two. ''other than me and robed guy they look like the classic fantasy party, large handsome male warrior with a nice but worn longsword on his side wearing better armour than even the prince but it looks alot more beaten and lived'' Next to him is a female cleric in long multilayered white robes whit gold and silver trim, holding a staff in one hand and holding what im guessing is her holy symbol in the other hand Walking behind them are the obvious theif and mage, the theif with dark leather armour knifes and blades strapped all over her body. The mage in frilly deep blue and bright purple robes, he''s walking with a nice staff taller than him and crystal floating on top slightly smaller than the queens. The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. I stand up and fall in behind them with robed guy doing the same walking next to me. I turn to him to see him investigating me he opens his and the sound "saludos amigo ?sabes lo que estoy haciendo aqu¨ª y lo que estaba diciendo, por cierto heyzues" It goes in my ear like that but as soon as it hits my brain it changes to "greetings freind do you know what i am doing here and what he was saying by the i am heyzues" ''GOD DAMMIT IT''S HIS NAME... but i know spanish well looks like all those bonuses going to the understanding stat do something'' (from now on everthing is in english because convenient) "I''ve got only a tiny bit more information than you do... we are in some sort of game and we have to complete the quest the king gave us then you will probably go back to where you were if you being here has nothing to do with me which it shouldn''t you were probably called here to help finish just this stage... i have no idea why, as for the quest we have to rescue a princess from some sort of demon king in a fortress through a teleportatin thing" Every single word comes out spanish ''how did i even do that'' He nods through my entire speech and frowns at the part about the princess and demon and says " so we just raid the the place kill all the guards and slay the demon get the bitch then were done" "Yeah pretty much... but stupid question can you turn water into tequila" "Of course i can what kind of mexican jesus would i be if i couldn''t" "Good that should make this alot quicker" As we finish talking we are ale led into a room with a large magic circle full of runes and scribbles, after a few seconds some of the rune and scribbles start to look like words nubers and symbols. The king gestures for us to stand in the circle, as we do the queen walks to the walks to the edge of the circle and starts chanting in some strange language that doesn''t translate. As we all step into the circle it starts to give of light, as the queens chanting reaches a crescendo everthing starts to give of light then evrything goes blurry then the group of adventurers me and heyzues are standing on a cliff looking down at a large fort surounded by a high wall with dark huge rain clouds hovering over but they are only raining on the fort itself. ---------------------------------------------------- Half the size means half the writing time... is that a good thing? one and a zero The party of four are huddling together discussing something quietly ''I wonder if i can use dah manas to hear them better... lets try channeling it into my ears'' It works i can hear them and my ears feel alot tougher ''so organ enhancements and body strengthening works... i dont why I''m even suprised anymore'' They seem to be discussing who we are and what to do with us ''I''ll let them do what they want for now, i gotta ask heyzues to do some stuff'' " heyzues can you turn the rain clouds into holy tequila clouds" He looks at me with an expression of of confusion and then understanding then he starts laughing" ahahahahaha you want to burn the demons with holy fire right" ''Shit this guys good'' "yeah so can you do it" "Of course i can i just need a shit tone of holy power that i cant get because for some reason im cut of from my source while im in this place" "Would the cleric have enough" i look over at the party they seemed have come to an agreement on something but now they are discussing how to implement there hierarchical order on us ''if they try to fight me it will be a good test to see how m y power works out to the average, but when im finished talking'' I turn back as he start talking again " nah she''s got nowhere near enough... maybe a jug of water but a massive endless raincloud hah, but that thing above your head might work theres more than enough" "You can see that thing above my head i know its mana or manas storage or something but jeff told me everyone keeps there manas inside them and generate it gradually" "I have no idea what it is its also somehow holy energy too, but moreover you know jeff" "You know him to... is the jeff you know an immortal ever reincarnating time looping grand highly wizard known as jeff" "What other reincarnating time looping grand highly wizard sorcerer extraordinaire known as jeff is there... but anyway is jeff here too" "Not here here but at some sort of hub place for blood sports arena thingamajig" "Huh last i heard from him he was living on earth prime then nothing about a month before the cataclysm" ''A month... jeff dissapeared a month before all this shit went down... I DID NOTHING, wait they''ve stopped talking'' I turn to the party and see the warrior walking towards me with the party glaring at us with looks of disdain, the warrior puts his hand on his sword and says " we do not know who you are but you have been selected by the king so you must have some merit, but first i must demonstrate the order in in this party and our greater strength now- As soon as he takes a stance and starts to draw his sword i slow my perception of time. '' huh he''s slow how he gonna cut me from this distance... sword wave?, no matter i just wont let him draw it in the first place and the others I''ll just hold a ball at each of there throats'' I look over at heyzues he winks at me in normal speed ''holy shit he''s fast'' i turn back and the warriors sword has barely moved a millimetere ''so it doesnt just slow down my perception of time it slows it down time for my body aswell... more ridiculous powers... woot?'' I sigh as i send two balls to pin his sword in between them automatically adding pressure as needed and send the other three to the rest of the partys throat enough so they can feel the pressure with slight discomfort following them as they move. There is a cracking sound from the sword as i return time to normal it seems the warrior kept trying to pull it out withe more and more strength, they are all looking at me with and an expression of confusion then fear as they notice the pressure doesn''t dissapear. "EXCUSE ME WE ARE TRYING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION HERE WILL YOU PLEASE AIR YOUR GRIEVENSES UNTIL THE APPROPRIATE TIME AND PLACE " I turn back to heyzues pulling the balls back to guard me and see heyzues on the ground lauging his ass off. Then i stop as my mind goes blank and i hear a noise ''i got a message not a floating screen or something in my head but a text... how do i even have singal'' Heyzues has stopped laughing and is standing up staring at me "why didn''t you tell me you had a phone" "How i was supposed to know it would work we are in another dimension... wait if you know what a phone is then why dont you have one" Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more. "Pffffft why would need one i have free unlimited multiversal calls with my source" "Well for situations like this obviously" "Just give me the dammed phone i need to call some people to pick me up" "Ok but you better pay me back for the roaming and long distance" i say as i pull out my phone to check the text and answer it then hand it to him, he walks off and immediately starts calling someone then there is unidentifiable mexican jargon that translates worse than the queens chanting. I sigh as i turn back to the party and see them bewildered ''oh yeah... auto-spanish'' "Well I''m finished now i need to ask you guys some questions, what do you know about the demon lord and his armies" The first one to speak is the cleric stuttering "th the dee demon lord stats a are all over one thousa d bu but less than two th thousand" The mage cuts in speaking more clearly "his armies are infinte while he stands he can spew forth endless minions the stronger the minion the longer it takes" Then the theif speak in almost a whisper "it is said he has another power... a power to strum the magic of reality to cause unkown things" "Ok so the holy fire should keep the minios off me while while i break my way through the entrance to wherever there keeping the princess" The warrior getting over his cofusion speaks "the princess will be kept in the highest tower" I look over at the fortress and see the tallest tower about 50 meteres high has large open windows infront i can see through the windows but its too far to make anything out other than a slight glow coming from the room. ''I guess I''ll put mana into my and see if it works differently tahn when i use it to identify'' It works and who do i see chained upped in the room unconcious little miss god damn shiny. i sigh and look back at heyzues who is finished talking and is walking back to me. As he hands me the phone he says "thanks for the lend, i got some friends comin to pick me up so i told them to bring some weapons to help" All of a sudden there is a great tearing sound as a grey rift opens near us and out drives a large old beaten pickup truck full off mexicans armed to the teeth with everything from guns to swords to futuristic weapons and haphazard patchy body armour. '' how can the univeres be this racist'' As the truck pulls up next to us the rift closes and out of the truck people start pouring out... more and more then it stops and the trucks empty ''how did they fit that many people inside theres more than fifty of them'' One of the people walks up and embrace heyzeus " brother everyone heard what happened and wanted to help so we stopped by the glorious nation of america to pick up some weapons" "Good did you bring my guns" The man hands heyzues to large ornate pistols with white body paint and gold patterns and the word peace on the top of one and mecry on the other. "Ok im ready to raid the fort I''ll get a lift back when it''s over are yah ready for the power transfer" he says as he walks over and places his hand on my shoulder "Yeah just give me a second you''ll know when to start" i focus back on lmgds and try to send my thoughts like in jeffs room. ''Hey'' she starts to stir she wakes up and looks around suspiciously then looks out the windows and seems to focus on me. ''Your finally here good now i can start singing you ready'' ''yeah i guess but first you aren''t evil right'' '' nope pretty sure im neutral'' ''Good the holy fire tequila rain shouldnt hur- The transmission cuts out as she opens her mouth and not singing but beautiful music comes out it echoes through me filling my body and storage with power, heyzues seems to take this as the signal and starts pulling a negligible amount of power from me and sends it to the clouds with a small flame. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Text and reply- did you get it- yeah but some shit happened so i might not be back for i dont know how long and i might have to use it in an emergency talk to when i get a chance.
